Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

Levi came out to my house and designed a solution for a complicated garage water problem. I was initially concerned by the troubled look on his face! But he explained everything. He carefully explained the cause of the water drainage and the effect of the problem on my garage floor. The problem is bad, but he went back to the office and designed a viable solution. I initially called a concrete guy who offered the WRONG solution for 3x the AFS cost! I’m glad I called AFS – but I should have called them first. Protecting my property investment is important to me. Thank you AFS!

On December 16th I had two excellent professional and informative leaders start my galvanized steel Piers installation. Tim who was the crew leader, was professional attentive and a great listener. He was diligently taking the measurements inside the house when needed as well as informing me of the steps that they were taking from one to five, I'm assuming. What I loved most about Tim and Michael was that they were prompt with a smile and a good morning. One other thing that I liked was that they were not territorial of their work area, they allowed me to stand and watch periodically and I could see the actual process of steel pipes being pressed down in the ground; the hydraulic process of lifting wasn't as excitable because that process didn't last long, I'm assuming. Nevertheless, I can say since the 18th I have not had any more cracks (a few cracking sounds) but that's expected. I appreciate the staff inside the office as well, Austin, Juan, then Jacob the field inspector great jobs to all of you. As far as the prominent question, yes I would refer a friend to your company.

Just have to say, in what could be one of the worst situations to find yourself, this process was made so much easier with the help of our awesome inspector Rana! She was beyond helpful, courteous, and went above and beyond to try and make everything work out for us. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and explained everything in great detail. She reviewed all our options and worked tirelessly with us to find the best possible solution. Not once did she ever make us feel that we were putting her out or wasting her time with our endless questions. Rana, you are the best!

There were some unwanted logistics that occurred initially with scheduling. However, Randy was very helpful in ironing out those logistics and Monica and Hunter were instrumental in successfully getting the job scheduled. The workers, Carl and Jay, did an excellent job! They were timely, very polite and professional. I was pleased with the final product.
